Eh, on the inverse... In this situation, GoDaddy, Google, et. al. are the technocratic equivalent to Kim Davis. While, I respect their right to decide what they "host" on their platforms, as registrars, DNS is separate. Their authorization as Registrar is only authorized by ICAAN->US->IANA->(UN/WTO/etc...). They in practice, register (i.e. recored) DNS name to entity and are bound to list said DNS name to registered entity. So while they might have a right to not physically host the bytes of data for a controversial domain, they cannot, as Registrar for the domain, not record the fact that somedomain.com -> xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx because they are only proxies for the authority to say somedomain.com -> xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. [edit]
If the Kim Davis analogy is too loose. If the US decided to remove a book from the ISBN system. Might not have it in libraries... but there is still a gap in your number system... Sure it, is Mein Kampf today. But in today's world, it is not hard to imagine that the missing number might be the Quran... |
